I always use an Otterbox or Griffin heavy duty case for my electronics. I was wondering if there was such a thing our tablet? I also have a keyboard dock and don't want to have to remove the case to use it! Even better would be one that also protects the dock! Any suggestions or other brands?
Thanks!
Otterbox never made cases for Asus. But you could do a search for Gumdrop on Google. This won't protect your dock however.
I think however that you will have a very very hard time to find a case that is sturdy, splash-water and dust proof that will protect your tablet AND dock.
Yea
I really just want a case like the gumdrop but at least have the ability to dock the tablet without ripping off the 3 layers . I am thinking about making a modded case of sorts. Ill keep looking for now and post what I find. Thanks for the tip.

Currently have xperia x10(hence the forum =), but my case is bothering me greatly. I have a stupid silicon one i bought online, it offers great protection, but makes the phone unattractive and comes off wayyyy to easily. Anybody have any suggestions on a new one? I'm thinking of the otterbox or the incipio one. I'm looking for an attractive case that has somewhat decent protection. Any suggestions?
I have a smoke clear case made of TPU that I got on eBay for just a few dollars (U.S.D.). It's not bulky like the hard plastic or rubberized plastic cases are and it's not sticky like the silicone cases can be. The case itself is bendable and 'rubbery,' but smooth. I think it offers great protection for the price. I've been using it since last year with no problems.
I got mine from an eBay seller named 'dcmugen88.' There are other cases for the X10 that are made of TPU, but the smoke clear one he sells has no designs on it and I like that.
He's selling one now for $3.49 (U.S.D.) and free shipping:

Oh...my girlfriend has an HTC EVO 4G with a TPU case too. She recently dropped the phone into water accidentally, and the TPU case kept almost all the water out of the protected areas. Her phone still works perfectly.
I did not like the silicone case, I wonder anyone took his leather case?
I am looking to get the otterbox commuter case but they want $50+ for shipping also... which is too much IMO.... if anybody knows of any sites please let me know....

i use krusell leather case for the x10 and i would recommend it greatly ... the clip system is just great ...especially if you use your x10 as navigation device in your car or for sports on your arm/bike ...
it offers great protection too for normalday use ..

Hi
I purchased a Capdase Alumor Metal Case from mobilefun.co.uk, its a really good fit and feels sturdy, I am very happy with it.
I got one of the silicone cases of of amazon and it is muck, terrible fit.
there arent good cases for x10 out there....
I have used many cases. I am still searching for "thee" case.
So far I have used the silicon, and gel/cases and they are bleh.
I did try a leather case, the Melkco Jacka type case.
http://www.melkco.com/scripts/main/viewitem-SESE10LCJT1BKIT-SE10.html
I really like this case, BUT, and this is a bit BUT, it's poor design.l The phone fits/snaps into place perfectly, however, its a "from the bottom" flip case. The cover, when you flip it over, at the bottom presses the home button. This turns your phone screen on. At this point the cover is now pressing on the home button the entire time the cover is closed. The screen does time out in 5 seconds, however, while in your pocket, it constantly bumps and activate the screen with he slightest touch. Draining battery.
I am about to order this case. So far I have been told it's probably the best case there is for an x10. It's an Incipio case. http://www.myincipio.com/Sony-Erics...on-Xperia-X10-EDGE-Hard-Shell-Slider-Case.asp
What I really want is a Seidio case. Too bad they don't make them for the x10. I have one for my atrix and it;s the best case I have ever had.

Just got my dock yesterday (love it!) but it's not compatible with the leather case that I'd been using for the tablet only. I've seen the dock+tablet leather cases that people have posted but they add so much bulk to the device! Is anyone else using/planning to use the dock+tablet without a case or screen protector? What have been your experiences? Is the backside riddled with scratches? I've got a simple netbook pouch to carry it around in but beyond that I just don't see a good solution for protecting it. Just wanted to get some input and hopefully confirmation that I'm not making a huge mistake!
If your looking for great protection with the dock included and little to no bulk try the skinomi skins!
http://www.skinomi.com/astrpr.html
The metal scratches easily so yes. I'm getting the skinomi with a sleeve for mine. Already have 2 small scratches on the back.
I just use a netbook sleeve that I made myself using felt and padding

im using a swiss sleeve from walmart right now, i have a minisuit full case for dock and tablet on preorder. i dont feel its necessary for a case right now. think of laptops, most of us dont have bulky cases around our laptops, just a carrier bag to put them in.
I just use a netbook sleeve myself. When it's out and in use its unprotected. I have a few scratches on the back but really not that worried about it. It's a tool and going to see some normal wear and tear. Anytime I take it anywhere I have it in the dock and closed and the screen is still pristine and I expect it to stay that way. Have had gorilla glass on both my past phones and never had any kind of case on them and never a scratch which is impressive considering its in and out of my pockets all day.
Not at all why pay money for a case when you can get a 2 year full coverage accidental warranty from square trade for 69.99? Check my thread in general for more information

I took my device out of my Caseen case in order to do my downgrade/root...yes I know I didn't need to take it out, but I did.
I forgot how light and nice it is to have such a thin device. It got me thinking that I might not want to use a case that often. What do you think?
I'm a kind of a no case guy, but since it is my favorite expensive toy I'm going to try to keep it in the case as much as possible. The good thing about cases like the one you have, is that it is wonderful to use when you are on a flat surface, no need to hold the tablet or break your neck looking straight down.
I think the answer is both. For home use, I prefer not to have it in a case, enjoy the tablet for what it is. If you plan on taking it on a trip or to work, then put it in a case for that extra protection.
I plan on getting one of the ones posted in another thread where it holds both tablet and dock but other than that, no. I would but it would be annoying having it on and off to use the dock
The best case is the keyboard dock
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
I just got the 300 and I'm loving it. I agree that the best case is the dock but it worries me that some people have posted about the screen getting cracked when docked. I wonder if this happens when you put the tab with the keyboard in a bag and pressure is applied to the screen. If you read the tf201 forums some users have attached rubber or silicone bumpers to the dock to spread the pressure along more points. As for me I'm going to add the silicone bumpers and leave it docked. My ideal case would be a snap on hard plastic case for the back of the tab and leave it docked so that the back is protected by the case and the screen by the dock. I have yet to see a snap on case for the 300
I'm thinking of buying the Roocase or the Poetic case and cutting off the case in half so I can then use the part that covers the back only and leave the tab docked. Not sure how it will look but its the only way I can think of getting what I want.
I don't like cases. I got a good bag to carry it around in. When it's in my hands I want it as light as possible. Ruins the comfort and functionality of having a tablet if you increase the weight with a case, IMO.
^^^^^yup
Il just get a carrying bag
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
No.. no case! This light, thin tablet placed in ugly thick case..
Agree with Raul69.atl, best case is dock and just take care of device)
The main reason I get the case is to use it as a kickstand for watching movies or if i using at a table or desk. but i got one thats fairly easy to take out, so if I'm carrying it around the house, I take it out.
I ended up just encasing mine with Armorsuit gear and carrying it around like that. I much prefer it without the case. I would like a stand though. Any suggestions for a stand?

Yeah, there were some screen cracking issues with the Prime but that was a fault of a bad weight and pressure distribution when docked. If you compare the two docks side-by-side, you can tell that ASUS redesigned the TF300's so as not to have that problem. and as for a case I love sleeves. exactly like those laptop sleeves that lots of people get, but in 10" size. thats what I recommend.

Case = Piece of mind for me since I am so clumsy. I also agree that it is good to use as a stand for movies and surfing.
I went back and fourth myself over this issue. What I ended up doing with my 7” HTC Evo View 4G tablet was to get a case that's just the plastic part of the 360° style case, without the big hole in the middle to rotate of course. It's lightweight yet protects the corners and back. I'm hoping that type of case will be available by the time my red TF gets here.

With case! It's a €400,- device and would hate to get it broke or lots of scratches on it. But depends which kind of case because you got really thick ones which I think dont hold as good. The thin ones I think are better.
A advantage of a case (not all of them) is that you can use it as a stand for the tablet.
If you want to use it without a case but want to store it safely, why not use a 10" sleeve.
I just use a sleeve. Its easiest, and unless I get an otterbox like case this thing is gonna break if I drop it anyways. I just use sleeves and padding for when its in my bag
I love how sleek my TF300 is and I tried a couple of different cases but did not like the bulk they added. I agree that the keyboard dock is the best solution for docking and I bought one of those sleeves from Amazon and use it when i have to carry it around.
i just purchased a moko case and let me tell you. when i was on a plane flying back home from NTC, i wish i had done so sooner. lol
I actually went a few days without a case when i first got my Pad....i usually dont use a case for any devices as i am usually VERY careful with them. however, the Pad almost seemed to thin and light without a case and i was always very scared of dropping it. day 1, walking from my work to my car, i had a death grip on the thing...lol
needless to say, i got a case (moko slim multi-angle one off amazon for $15...well worth the $$ IMO) and it has been great. Gives that extra protection when i want it, a great multi-angle stand for watching videos or normal use (placed it on my lap and browsed with it last night) and it is actually fairly thin and light still. even without it on the "stand" it is easier to hold due to the grooves on the back.
it's so nice i may never take it out of the case again....especially since i have Tile floors throughout my entire house....lol
Sure glad I had a case on mine when my 2 year old threw it straight down onto the hard wood floor the other day! It's a Moko case.
What is the thinnest folding case available
I am looking for a case for the 300 that is as thin as possible. I really only care about scratch protection, I don't expect it to protect from drops (not that most case will provide that protection anyways). I do need it to have a stand function to watch movies. Since this is already thicker than prime I want to minimize that as much as possible.
Even the cheapie vinyl thin case that came bundled with the Acer a500 at costco would be fine. It was very thin.
The case I have for my ipad2 is tapered at the edges to keep the profile as thin as possible instead of being just squared off at the side edges. In other words, it should wrap around the side edges like a glove.
i just ordered the MOKO slim fit case from amazon. I hope this caters to your needs. it's slim and tough enough to even withstand drops.

decent but not quite what I am looking for. The case you are talking about clips or hooks onto the tablet in about4 to 6 areas (4 corners plus maybe 2 additional top and bottom). It leaves alot of the edge exposed. On th eplus side it is usually a hard back case so decent protetion.
However, what I had in mind is a case that slips all around the edges of the tablet. Most cases are designed like this but except what I have in mind would be slimmer with the edges tapered to match the edge of the tablet but still wrapping the entire tablet (except at the ports). Hard to tell, but I think this case fits that description but it is for tf101 only:

Honestly? I am still waiting for something the like the shell+smartcover that my mom's Ipad has. That really is brilliant stuf.
For now I found this to be the thinnest sleeve/cover/whatever
Urbanflip series on HandiHeldItems
I have one and had to adjust the hole for the headphone jack.
But it works pretty good, is a lot thinner that some other case I bought and has a cut out for the charger.
But an Ipad-like smartcover .. to me that's the bomb

Wow, that's almost exactly what I'm looking for - just with the ability to use it with the dock! They have this one on their site that does just that:
HHI Keyboard Case with Slim Portfolio Stand Cover for Asus Transformer Pad TF300
I have a carbon fiber leather case for my Galaxy Tab 10.1 and won't buy another case unless it's the same material, it looks so slick and resists scratches and hides dirt like no other case. Since getting it, I've taken out the tablet probably 3 times!
Good find!

I recently got my TF300T and I'm looking for a hardshell case, as most of the ones I've come across are sleeves, huge rubber cases. I have found some "full" cases but they are made of leather. Any recommended cases? I will more than likely always have the dock on but it should have an easy release method if I need just the tablet.
Have you looked on Ebay or Amazon?
I'm gonna start looking for an actual hard case to carry mine in. I've been sliding it the laptop compartment of my backpack but I'm worried the screen is gonna get cracked. Matter of fact, I'm gonna go look at Ebay and Amazon right now.
If I see anything like what you're looking for I'll post you a link.

I have the slim fit folio case and it's not that great
I have a leather case for both the tablet and the dock. It makes it like a little netbook when both are attached. Works quite well for me but then I am the only one to use the tablet and don't let it near any kids. I got it from Amazon. As I am on less than 10 posts I cannot but a link in here
